Lew Pincus joined Hoverfly Technologies Inc. to bring drone solutions to the industry and demonstrate how they integrate and act as force multipliers providing that critical outer layer “eyes in the sky” technology for enhanced protection and observation. Hoverfly Technologies designs and manufactures industrial-grade tether-powered drones for persistent aerial surveillance, communications and reconnaissance. The company currently serves several military customers including Army, Navy, Homeland Security, police departments, FDNY and other safety and security organizations.

Founded in 2010, Hoverfly Technologies Inc. (www.hoverflytech.com ) manufactures industrial-grade tether-powered aerial drones and tether kits to organizations seeking a reliable, cost-effective means to maintain an aerial presence to investigate threats from the air, inspect and provide actionable intelligence to mitigate risk.
